CFA Athlete Program Focus:

Tailored specifically to serious athletes who are seeking to properly train to supplement their sport throughout the summer. This program is not for the faint of heart, as we are looking to work with athletes who want to be the best version of themselves.

Strength: Joint by joint functional approach & instruction

Speed: Acceleration, deceleration, lateral movement, footwork

Power (Explosive): Plyometrics, olympic lifting

Metabolic Conditioning: Sleds, sprints, assault bikes, rowing

Mobility: Dynamic & static stretching

In majority of sports, athletes only use one leg at a time, which is why we will have a heavy focus on a unilateral exercises.
